Tonks Tuesday: Napping in Another Tree

Tonks found out that her beloved Christmas tree will be taken down this weekend. In preparation, she decided to stake her claim over one of the Christmas tree cat beds that stay out at our house all year long.



When Tonks realized she was the star of this photo shoot, she wanted to make sure she was spick and span. So, excuse her while she bathes away.


Have a terrific Tuesday, friends!

Flashback Doodle of the Day

We're having us a winter storm that consists of a little bit of snow, and lots and lots of rain. So, this weird little winter umbrella doodle seemed apt enough.

Tip of the Day

Yet another tip related to outdoor cat shelters is to ensure that the shelter is heavy enough to stay put, such as in heavy winds. Shelters made out of wood or other heavy material will of course be more likely to stay put in high winds. If you have a makeshift or any form of lightweight shelter, such as one made from plastic or Sytrofoam, do consider placing something heavy, yet also safe and secure, on top of it. This could be a sheet of plywood, or anything similar that can safely and securely weigh down a lightweight shelter. In some instances, you also might be able to find ways to tether, bolt, or in some way secure a shelter in place. The weight of an outdoor cat shelter is yet another factor to keep in mind when caring for ferals, so take this into consideration and ensure that any shelter you put out is one that will not blow away in the event of a stormy or windy day.
